Eminem (feat. D-12) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got some shit on my motherfucking chest that
I need to get off 'cause
If I don't
I'ma fucking explode or somethin'
Now look
This is the story about
Some little fucking girls that I know
It's so easy for me to make enemies any more, it's sickening
People are looking for an excuse to jump on my shit-list
Sticking their noses in shit that isn't none of their business
I never asked, cared, gave a fuck, or wanted opinions
Now I'm in the position that
I don't wanna be in shit
I never had no beef with you corny son of a bitches
But now this shit is broke and you can't do nothing to fix it
So I'm telling you right now
Motherfucker Limp Bizkit
Now I'ma be real
B-Real was real
He ain't say shit the whole time me and Whitey was beefing
See he chilled
He was cool with the whole situation and kept it neutral
I'd never involved my crew if it wasn't for Pupils
Peoples, whatever your backpacking cyphering name is
Had I not opened a magazine and seen what you say in it
I'd never involved you
But you had to add your two pennies
Now I gotta go grab my shit-list and add some new enemies
Hit the studio and I'll admit I had a few in me
Fuck it, I roasted you, I ain't mad at you any
But let it be known
That song was never released, it leaked
I'd never gave you that much attention intentionally
Then I look on the TV, now look who's mentioning me
That little fucking weasel, DJ Lethal, on MTV
After I gave you props on that song, you on national TV
Talking 'bout Everlast is gonna whip my ass when he sees me
Come on, dawg, you was supposed to be on that song
Talking 'bout how bad you hate him
Now you all on his thong
What's wrong? You scared? And Fred, you said you was dissing him too
I should of knew better than to listen to you
You fucking sissy
Up on stage screaming how people hate you
They don't hate you
They just think you're corny since Christina played you
And I dare you motherfuckers to try to diss me back
That's a sissy act
And don't call me kissing my ass
'Cause I swear to God this ain't just a song
I'm tryna prewarn you
Lethal, when I fucking see you, dawg, I'm swinging on you
Motherfuckers must think 'cause I'm in trouble with the law that I won't draw
Up my sentence and double it tomorrow
Y'all are some
Girls (y'all are some goddamn girls)
Why do you act this way? (Why do you act this way, huh?)
Why do y'all act like fucking sissies
You pussies keep talking shit behind my back
You just some bitches for that
And we all know (we all know, ha)
How fucking cowards roll (keep rollin' rollin' rollin')
In fucking Bentley's
And pretend to be down
But as soon as someone calls you out
You put your tail between your legs and walk around
Now I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
'Cause I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
Now see if you diss me and I respond
The beef is on
But if I help you sell one record
And I see you at a show, I'll strip you naked
See I was smart, I came back and scooped up my friends
Now I got five dogs that'll die for me like I'll die for them
I'll fight for them, swing or shoot, like I fight for Kim
All of them been with me through this fucked up life that I'm in
That goes for all of my dogs from Royce to Dre
From Xzibit to Melman
'Til I'm hoist away
In my coffin
I'll never soften no matter how often I'm tested
I never give a fuck
I won't ever be interested
Love me or hate me
As much as Fred wants to be hated
I will solemnly stand by every statement I've stated
The shit that I been through
My pencil never could pencil
But I won't ever be this gullible ever again, no
Next time I'll know when someone's copying off me
I'm not being cocky
I just know when somebody's mocking me
I stick up my middle finger
He sticks up his finger
I say fuck Christina
He says fuck Christina, but meaner
So from doing a song with Method
To begging to get accepted
I'm pegging Fred
With the bottle of dye that he bleached his head with
And as for Lethal, don't forget what I said
I'm fucking you up, punk
You're dead
Don't think that I'm playing
And fuck Bizkit
'Cause I know you're saying fuck D12
Only not to our face, under your breath, to yourselves
Little
Girls (motherfucking females)
Why do you act this way? (Why do y'all act this way, huh?)
Why do y'all act like fucking sissies
You pussies keep talking shit behind my back
You just some bitches for that
And we all know (now we all know the truth)
How fucking cowards roll (keep rollin' rollin' rollin')
In fucking Bentleys
And pretend to be down
But as soon as someone calls you out
You put your tail between your legs and walk around
Now I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
'Cause I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
And that's it
That's all there is to it, dawg
If you don't want to do the fucking song
Don't say you're down with doing the fucking song
And then back out at the last minute
And then go on motherfucking MTV
Talking about Everlast can whip my motherfucking ass
If you're scared of Whitey Ford, dawg
Just say you're scared of Whitey Ford
That's it
That's all you had to fucking say
I wouldn't have said shit
I would have backed off
Did the motherfucking song myself
And not put you motherfuckers in it
That's all
Now I ain't even on no rap shit no more
I'm on some fucking you up shit when I see you
And I will see you, too
Oh, and by the way, Fred
That wasn't an accident
I didn't mean to give you a play at the Music Awards
Haha

Talking 'bout Everlast is gonna whip my ass when he sees me
Claiming that Everlast will beat me up when he sees me

Talking 'bout how bad you hate him
Saying how much you hate him
Now you all on his thong
Now you're supporting him
What's wrong? You scared? And Fred, you said you was dissing him too
What's the matter? Are you afraid? And Fred, you claimed you were also dissing him
I should of knew better than to listen to you
I should have known better than to trust you
You fucking sissy
You coward
Up on stage screaming how people hate you
On stage, you're yelling about how people hate you
They don't hate you
They don't actually hate you
They just think you're corny since Christina played you
They just find you lame, especially after what happened with Christina

I challenge you all to try and insult me in response

Up my sentence and double it tomorrow
Increase my punishment and double it tomorrow
Y'all are some
You all are
Girls (y'all are some goddamn girls)
Weak individuals
Why do you act this way? (Why do you act this way, huh?)
Why do you behave like this?
You pussies keep talking shit behind my back
You cowards keep talking negatively about me behind my back
You just some bitches for that
You're simply acting like bitches
And we all know (we all know, ha)
And it's clear to all of us
How fucking cowards roll (keep rollin' rollin' rollin')
How cowards behave
In fucking Bentleys
In expensive cars like Bentleys
And pretend to be down
And act like they're supportive
But as soon as someone calls you out
But as soon as someone confronts you
You put your tail between your legs and walk around
You become submissive and back down
Now I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
I don't expect anyone to share my opinions
Or be involved in my beefs
Or get involved in my conflicts
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
I'm capable of handling things on my own
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
So, if you don't want to be part of them
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
All I ask is that you refrain from sharing your opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
And I won't involve you
'Cause I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Because I don't expect anyone to adopt my beliefs
Now see if you diss me and I respond
Now, if you insult me and I retaliate
The beef is on
Then the conflict is initiated
But if I help you sell one record
But if I assist you in selling a record
And I see you at a show, I'll strip you naked
And if I see you at a concert, I'll humiliate you
See I was smart, I came back and scooped up my friends
I was smart, I reconciled with my friends
Now I got five dogs that'll die for me like I'll die for them
Now I have five loyal friends who would sacrifice themselves for me
I'll fight for them, swing or shoot, like I fight for Kim
I'll fight for them, physically or with words, just like I fight for Kim (my ex-wife)
All of them been with me through this fucked up life that I'm in
They have all supported me through the difficult life I live
That goes for all of my dogs from Royce to Dre
I include all of my close friends, from Royce to Dre
From Xzibit to Melman
From Xzibit to Melman (possibly referring to various artists)
'Til I'm hoist away
Until I die
In my coffin
When I'm buried
I'll never soften no matter how often I'm tested
I'll never become weak or change, despite being constantly challenged
I never give a fuck
I don't care
I won't ever be interested
I won't ever be intrigued
Love me or hate me
Whether you love or hate me
As much as Fred wants to be hated
Even though Fred (Limp Bizkit) wishes to be hated
I will solemnly stand by every statement I've stated
I will firmly stand by everything I have said
The shit that I been through
The difficult experiences I have faced
My pencil never could pencil
My words can never truly express
But I won't ever be this gullible ever again, no
But I won't ever be this easily fooled again, no
Next time I'll know when someone's copying off me
Next time I'll recognize when someone is imitating me
I'm not being cocky
I'm not being arrogant
I just know when somebody's mocking me
I just know when someone is making fun of me
I stick up my middle finger
I raise my middle finger
He sticks up his finger
He raises his finger
I say fuck Christina
I express my disregard for Christina
He says fuck Christina, but meaner
He expresses his disregard for Christina in a more aggressive way
So from doing a song with Method
So, after collaborating with Method Man
To begging to get accepted
To desperately seeking acceptance
I'm pegging Fred
I'm targeting Fred (Limp Bizkit)
With the bottle of dye that he bleached his head with
With the bottle of hair dye he used to bleach his head
And as for Lethal, don't forget what I said
And as for Lethal (DJ Lethal), remember what I told you
I'm fucking you up, punk
I'm going to beat you up, punk
You're dead
You'll be finished
Don't think that I'm playing
Don't think I'm joking
And fuck Bizkit
And fuck Limp Bizkit
'Cause I know you're saying fuck D12
Because I know you're disrespecting D12
Only not to our face, under your breath, to yourselves
But only behind our backs, whispered to yourselves
Now I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
I don't ask anyone to agree with me
Or be involved in my beefs
Or get involved in my conflicts
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
I can handle things on my own
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
So if you don't want to be a part of them
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
All I ask is that you don't share your opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
And I won't involve you
'Cause I don't ask nobody to share my beliefs
Because I don't expect anyone to adopt my beliefs
Or be involved in my beefs
Or get involved in my conflicts
I'm a man, I can stand on my feet
I can handle things on my own
So if you don't wanna be in 'em
So if you don't want to be a part of them
All I ask is that you don't open your mouth with an opinion
All I ask is that you don't share your opinion
And I won't put you in 'em
And I won't involve you
And that's it
And that's all there is
That's all there is to it, dawg
That's the end of the story, my friend
If you don't want to do the fucking song
If you don't want to be part of the song
Don't say you're down with doing the fucking song
Don't claim to be willing to do the song
And then back out at the last minute
And then change your mind at the last moment
And then go on motherfucking MTV
And then appear on MTV
Talking about Everlast can whip my motherfucking ass
Saying that Everlast can beat me up
If you're scared of Whitey Ford, dawg
If you're afraid of Whitey Ford (Everlast), man
Just say you're scared of Whitey Ford
Just admit you're afraid of him
That's it
That's all there is to it
That's all you had to fucking say
That's the only thing you needed to say
I wouldn't have said shit
I wouldn't have said anything
I would have backed off
I would have stepped back
Did the motherfucking song myself
I would have done the damn song on my own
And not put you motherfuckers in it
And I wouldn't have included you assholes
That's all
That's all there is
Now I ain't even on no rap shit no more
Now, I'm not even focused on rap anymore
I'm on some fucking you up shit when I see you
I'm on a mindset of physically harming you when I see you
And I will see you, too
And I definitely will see you
Oh, and by the way, Fred
Oh, and by the way, Fred (Limp Bizkit)
That wasn't an accident
That wasn't a mistake
I didn't mean to give you a play at the Music Awards
I didn't intend to give you attention at the Music Awards
Haha

Most slept on diss jam of all time. This is the definition of taking names and kickin ass.
@KrayzieMofoGuy
Agreed. Amazing that a beef with Everlast turned into a verbal slaughter of Limp Bizkit.
Ironically, the feuds with Everlast and even Dilated Peoples (who Em throws shade on in this same song) had already been squashed by the time this song was released, based off Everlast's and Evidence's interviews with Talib Kweli. So Limp Bizkit had to get the final parting shots in a feud that was so avoidable for them lol.
